  • Goethe and Older German Literature
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by OpenSIUC GOETHE AND OLDER GERMAN LITERATURE BY GUSTAVE O. ARLT^ Indiana University IN March, 1832, only a few days before Goethe's death, Ecker- mann records the following statement: "As a human being and as a citizen the poet will love his fatherland ; but the fatherland of his poetic powers and of his poetic activity is the good, the noble, the beautiful, which is bound to no particular province and to no particular country and which he grasps and forms wherever he finds it. In this respect he is like the eagle that hovers with far- seeing eye above all lands." While these words of the poet may be regarded as expressive in a general way of his views on nationalism and patriotism, they are particularly applicable to his attitude on older German litera- ture. In a period when his contemporaries were prostrating them- selves in undiscriminating worship before the shrine of ancestral literature, Goethe remained cooly aloof from the popular cult. German or Italian, French or English, he regarded with unclouded judgment and chose with calm deliberation that which suited his immediate literary needs. Neither Oberlin nor Herder of the Strasz- burg period, neither von der Hagen nor Biisching of the heyday of romanticism was able to instill into the poet that unbounded enthusiasm for Germanic antiquity which inspired each of them. And yet the charge of utter indifference toward the writings of his ancestors cannot be brought against Goethe. On the contrary, there is ample evidence that he was at all times fully aware of contem- porary research in the older field and that he gave these efforts his sympathetic support.

  • Staging the Fringe Before Shakespeare: Hans Sachs and the Ancient Novel
    STAGING THE FRINGE BEFORE SHAKESPEARE: HANS SACHS AND THE ANCIENT NOVEL Niklas Holzberg It is well known that the plot of the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri, or more precisely a later version of this, was adapted for the stage by Shakespeare in the form of a comedy: Pericles, Prince of Tyre, writ- ten between 1606 and 1608. A few years previously in another of his comedies, Troilus and Cressida, he had also availed himself of cer- tain motifs derived ultimately from two ancient texts which, like the Historia, are classed as fringe novels: the Troy stories of Ps.-Dares and Ps.-Dictys. But Shakespeare was not the first to dramatise an- cient novels. A good fifty years earlier the Nürnberg cobbler and Meistersinger Hans Sachs (1494-1576) had turned the plots of three ancient prose narratives into his own brand of drama: a tragedy on the fall of Troy dating from 28th April 1554,1 a tragedy on the life of Alexander the Great (27th September 1558),2 and a comedy on Aesop (23rd November 1560).3 Sachs read the three fringe novels used – Ps.-Dictys’ Troy Story, Ps.-Callisthenes’ Alexander Romance, and the anonymous Aesop Romance – in the German translations by, re- spectively, Marcus Tatius Alpinus,4 Johannes Hartlieb,5 and Heinrich Steinhöwel.6 The incarnation of Hans Sachs created by Richard Wagner in his opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is famous the world over, but even amongst students and teachers of German literature the histori- cal Sachs is no more than a name to all except the specialists.

  • From Satire to Silence: Hans Sachs's Commentary on Civic Decline Thesis by Sharon Baker in Partial Fulfilment of the Requireme
    From Satire to Silence: Hans Sachs’s Commentary on Civic Decline Thesis by Sharon Baker In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Institute of Modern Languages Research School for Advanced Studies, University of London September 2017 Declaration I [Sharon Baker] declare that this thesis represents my own work. Where other sources of information have been used they have been acknowledged. Signed………………………………. Date………… ABSTRACT In this year devoted to celebrating Luther’s invitation to debate Indulgences in 1517, which led to the establishment of the Lutheran faith, it is timely to reassess the Fastnachtspiele of Hans Sachs, whose reputation varies from unskilled cobbler poet to ‘Verfechter der Reformation’. Previous research devoted to Hans Sachs and satire concentrates on his ability to produce amusing moral tales for the Carnival season, whereas this thesis searches for critical satire of contemporary political, religious and social issues within the chosen Fastnachtspiele. This is achieved by analysing the plays in the context of contemporary events, personalities and circumstances in Nuremberg during a turbulent period in the city’s history, when it faced internal religious conflict, invasion, declining influence as an imperial city and loss of wealth as an early industrial society. The results of the analysis suggest that Sachs’s Fastnachtspiele, which are celebrated for their didactic nature along with his religious Meistergesang and Reformation dialogues, contribute to a corpus of pro- Lutheran

  • In Association With
    OVERTURE OPERA GUIDES in association with We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Overture Publishing on this series of opera guides and to build on the work English National Opera did over twenty years ago on the Calder Opera Guide Series. As well as reworking and updat- ing existing titles, Overture and ENO have commissioned new titles for the series and all of the guides will be published to coincide with repertoire being staged by the company at the London Coliseum. We hope that these guides will prove an invaluable resource now and for years to come, and that by delving deeper into the history of an opera, the poetry of the libretto and the nuances of the score, readers’ understanding and appreciation of the opera and the art form in general will be enhanced. John Berry, CBE Artistic Director, ENO The publisher John Calder began the Opera Guides series under the editorship of the late Nicholas John in associa- tion with English National Opera in 1980. It ran until 1994 and eventually included forty-eight titles, covering fifty-eight operas. The books in the series were intended to be companions to the works that make up the core of the operatic repertory. They contained articles, illustrations, musical examples and a complete libretto and singing translation of each opera in the series, as well as bibliographies and discographies. The aim of the present relaunched series is to make available again the guides already published in a redesigned format with new illustrations, some newly commissioned articles, updated reference sections and a literal translation of the libretto that will enable the reader to get closer to the meaning of the origi- nal.

  • Contemplating Die Meistersinger (Published in Limelight Magazine, November 2018) Richard Wagner Once Said of Johann Sebastian Bach’S Music: “That Made Me What I Am
    Contemplating Die Meistersinger (Published in Limelight Magazine, November 2018) Richard Wagner once said of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music: “That made me what I am. My unending melody is predestined in it.” In Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Wagner demonstrated to post-Tristan sceptics his mastery of traditional musical forms. Sonorous chorales, a fugally-inspired toccata, an unforgettable quintet and counterpoint worthy of Bach all feature in this magnificent score celebrating the marriage of inspiration and tradition. Incredibly, Bach’s major works had been ignored and forgotten until Mendelssohn presented the St Matthew Passion in Leipzig in 1829. The neglect of Bach for at least fifty years was symptomatic of a much wider problem. During the 18th century, the Austro-German ruling classes had been indifferent to (Lutheran) German culture and were inclined to rubbish anything that was not neo-classical and French or Italian inspired. The Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II experimented with a German theatre in 1778, the National Singspiel, for which Mozart wrote Die Entführung aus dem Serail. However, this project failed after only five years and the emperor (famously complaining of “too many notes”) turned instead to melodious, lightly scored Italian alternatives. Even in Prussia, Frederick the Great, champion of the Enlightenment, regarded German culture as being inferior to that of France and Italy. In the 1780s a new edition of the Nibelungenlied (the 13th century ‘Song of the Nibelungs’, which would play an important part in Wagner’s plans for a drama on the death of Siegfried and later Der Ring des Nibelungen) was dedicated to Frederick, but the king responded in the following terms: Dear faithful scholar, You judge far too favourably these poems.

  • German Reading List for the Master of Arts Degree in Modern Languages at the University of Mississippi – (Revised May 24, 2011)
    German Reading List for the Master of Arts Degree in Modern Languages at the University of Mississippi – (revised May 24, 2011) M.A. candidates should read works from all periods and subject areas. Students opting to take comprehensive examinations will be responsible for a total of 50 works. This will consist of 40 works (the total of the minimum number of works from each period/subject) plus 10 elective works from the students’ periods or subjects of interest. Students opting to write a thesis are only responsible for 40 works (representing the minimum from each period/subject). Works marked by a * are required both for the comprehensive examination and for the oral examination of the M.A. thesis; they can however be replaced by another work from that period or author in consultation with the student’s adviser. The student may in general tailor the list according to his/her own interests by focussing on certain periods and by selecting different works, which may include films, operas, operettas, radio plays, essays, or major works on linguistics and philology.
